Judging someone based on skin color or heritage is a completely unreliable method. Yes you can gather some cultural differences, about half the time - for instance, a matronly Indian woman with an accent you could guess would be proud of her heritage & still holding on to some beliefs/practices/traditions - but our society is just too blended to assume much of anything based on an individual's race.
That being said, racism is ignorant, stupid, and is something that is learned. If you take a baby away from a skinhead and adopt them with any other white family not affiliated with such racial groups, chances are the child would NOT be racist.
Can people control whether or not they're racist?
